Simu Liu roasted Ryan Reynolds in a “diss track”
As members of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Simu Liu as Shang-Chi and Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool), the Canadian actors aren’t technically rivals but Liu shared a “diss track” roasting Reynolds for a minute straight on his social media earlier this week. “Better call Tim Hortons because this roast just got DARK,” he posted online. The rap is part of AGBO Superhero League, a charity fantasy football league involving the stars of various Marvel movies and series, with the winner getting a million dollars for a charity of their choice. Now in week nine of the competition, Liu and Reynolds are battling for first place, with Liu playing for UNICEF Canada and Reynolds for SickKids Foundation. Watch this space for Reynolds’ rap comeback.

In this year’s @AGBOleague, we’re playing fantasy football for a million dollars towards the charity of our choice.

So you know I’m not gonna hold back on the trash talk.
